As we round the corner on this week the finish line is starting to come into sight! Ending the week on Day 68 from seed and these girls are really starting to shine! Front left is just a crystal packed beast with golf ball sized buds (or bigger) well spaced out along the stem, more like blueberry tends to grow. Front right is showing very similar traits, while back left and right are larger more connected buds, more like Slimer tends to grow. Cool to see the two different bud structures in the same grow, fun thing with autos you know they will be close but always some differences! Buds are just plumping and firming, getting ready for their big day on another few weeks. Water intake has slowed as expected for this stage in life, 32L every four days instead of every three. Was an easy week work wise, just a light defoliation of mainly the back two plants, probably 20 or so leaves each. Back two are still seeming to be maybe a week behind front two, but they seem to be catching up fast. May have to get the second reservoir set up at the end of need to ween first two off the feed earlier than last two. Good thing is I have three full sets of AutoPots so not a problem, although I may have a problem with collecting grow gear hahaha. Can't help myself, I see stuff selling for super cheap used or clearance from stores closing and think "sure I could use another set of those". Got my last set of 15L pots in upgrade packs on clearance. Each pack came with the pot, the tray, and the 5.0 valve with all the fixings for just !!! Honestly how do you say no to that I don't know. Lights 90% @ 16" @ 750-800umol/s Water 32L every four days UV lights one hour per day mid cycle 6" Exhaust 30% 4" Intake 50% 6" oscillating fan x2 50%

Hola a todos, En esta semana 3 de floración la planta sigue engordando sus cogollos purpuras. Ha dejado de crecer para centrar su energía de producir sus flores, que presentan buenos tricomas.

Looking wonderful. Very close to harvesting. 90% of hairs are orange and the trichomes are 80% cloudy 20% clear I did notice some amber here and there but she's got a wee bit longer.

And she’s moving— just gave an ipm treatment and tip dress of kelp. I take it slow the first 2 weeks of flower then slam them with nutes in the next few weeks. Look out!✌️🏻💚

Lots of growth through days 17 to 21. I consider day one at time of sprout. Tops height was 5.20" on day 19.. prior to applying LST. Height is no longer relevant when using LST. I'm hoping for height after I LST the plant around the bowl of the 5 gallon pot, just before bloom. Considering this is an Amnesia XXL auto strain that runs around 10-12 weeks, I am hoping for a longer vegetative period to allow for more vertical growth. Lights moved to a distance of 22" from tops on Day 19, after LST. Day 18-19 HST/LST Height 3" Day 20 a topping and pruned approximately 7 leaves Day 21 lights moved back to 18" Day 21 Height 4.25" Water PH 5.85-6.2 through Week 3

Hello one and all , happy growing. This week I switched to bloom nutes and the girls have reacted well. The Shogun line up has worked a treat , with no issues since the beginning. There have been a few amputees ,as my mainlining adventures have taken me down the broken-stem-rabbit hole. As many of you know these are resilient creatures and have bounced back but not without a major loss of yield , come harvest. I’m at odds with myself as I find it almost impossible NOT to try LST/HST/ tying down etc. Something has to give and eventually I’ll have to be surgical with my treatment of my beauties. Until next time …. Happy growing.

Harvest: Everything dried up to 347 grams + 96 grams of super high quality trim. Overall I am not too pleased with the smoke of the product. Although the bud size, bag appeal, smell and taste are pretty much all there, the shitty burn is a deal breaker for me and the majority of this weed is quite frankly useless. Another downside is while smoking I’ve found 4 seeds in an ounce from almost every strain. Light leaks? At least I learned a ton, including how to get super good burn for my next crop. I’m hoping that curing for a month or so will improve the burn but I wouldn’t really count on it. I have seen weed dried for 4 days with no cure and no flush smoke clean and not go out once. I have been told that the key to white ashes/clean burn is proper mineral content in the soil and there is tons of scientific studies on cigar ash going back 100 years. Plants grown in a medium with high levels of decomposing organic matter, phosphorus, magnesium, chlorine and heavy metal ratio tend to produce black/grey ash. Whereas plants grown in a medium with a higher ratio of trace minerals like calcium carbonate and potassium in the form of wood ash, rock dusts, oyster shell flour and lower levels of decomposing organic matter will produce a dense, uniform white ash that rarely goes out. But this is still all theory until I test it to confirm for myself a few times. My last few outdoor harvests did not improve with curing at all so I’m hoping this will be the missing link. Plain peat moss and coco clearly lack essential minerals that help burn. If said theory is correct I should find a synthetic nutrient line with more trace minerals. Makes me wonder if growing if rockwool/basalt rock could improve burn in a hydro setup. I think I did a fairly decent job for my first grow. I went wrong in a million different places but I still stuck it out and got some decent herb. Things went wrong early when I got black spot mold, nitrogen/magnesium deficiencies and powdery mildew. I corrected most of it but things didn’t get really bad until mid veg when I intentionally skipped a few feedings and defoliated quite heavily stunting the plants. I also didn’t even top or start LST until the 6-9th node which was really stupid and hurt my yield. My temperatures were all over the place from the learning curve. I was severely overwatering without realizing it. 100% peat moss is a shitty medium. I also fed way too late in flower (not what caused shitty burn). I also used synthetic nutrients in soil.

Just the start of week 4. The LSD’s, Auto Blueberry and Blue Cheese Auto are fast and starting to pre-flower. Filled into the width of their pots the last couple days and all around 6-7 inches tall, it’s day 22. Really guzzling water too. The two Charlottes Angel CBD Autos are heathy just a little slower than the rest. I will LST in another day or two. Day 23 about 3 inches growth on each of these girls. I did some lst’ing on them by bending them in the middle and tieing them down. This will really even out the light coverage, giving each budsite more exposure. The Blue Cheese Auto on the other hand, is growing so big and still not pre-flowering I decided to top her. With the rate of growth I think she will recover just fine. Day 27, they responded well to the Lst’ing. I did some selective de-leafing today only removing the leaves that were shading bud sites. Looks like Blue Cheese Auto will give a heavy yield, she has so many side branches.

The girls are doing great! They are getting bushier by the day, I don’t want to stress her much by defoliation so I’m doing a good amount of leaf tucking and only removing lower yellowing leaves that were ready to fall off on their own. The medium from Miller’s Soils has been extremely well balanced throughout the grow. I only dealt with a small amount of nute burn in the beginning but they quickly used those preloaded nutrients to their advantage. They responded well to their Bloom feeding so I will continue to up the dosage as time goes on. So far she isn’t showing any signs of deficiencies or excesses in nutes so I’m treading lightly with the feed schedule.

Well it's finally time to cut her down. It's day 95 post germination for this lady, and she's at maximum potency. All trichomes are cloudy with about 5-10% amber & she's giving out a mixed palet of aromas. I can smell a very distinct mix of lemon, urea, skunk, and spice. It was relatively easy plant to grow. I started in a super soul which ran out of nutrients early and I had to supplement with bottled nutrients. Going forward I'm going to have to put more thought into my initial soil composition. Please note: I'm only estimating the 'Wet Bud Weight'; for the purposes of this diary I estimated 12-16 ounces. Cannabis can loose up to 75% of its mass during the drying phase and based on past experience, I am expecting 4-6 ounces of finished flower. Dry/cure process: 1. Cut entire plant down by main stock 2 hang upside down in a dark room with controlled humidty and temps.... - Temperature should range from 67-72 °F, and my humidity will range between 57-60%. 3. Full trim complete after 8-11 days of drying. 4. Stick in Mason jars indefinitely with 2-way Boveda humidty packs (62%). 4-20. Smoke 2 joints before you smoke 2 joints.. and then you smoke 2 more ☮️ I'll post a thorough smoke report in roughly 3 weeks Thank you growdiaries.com Thank you growmies Thank you Fastbuds

First week of flowering!! I’m glad to have 4 weeks of veg and start flowering. It’s August 17th and this tent can only be out on my balcony until the end of September to early October. So I have about 6-9 weeks of flower time before it’s too cold. I feed 1L every other day with an 8-10ml per litre of the 3 nutes I’m using Royal Gorilla is growing ugly , it’s bush is lush and tangled Day 34 update - Royal Gorilla is actually in vegetation... next week it’ll start flower for sure

Growth Overview: Vegetative Stage: Auto Critical Orange Punch developed into a thick and bushy plant with vigorous growth. It filled out its space well, creating a dense canopy of healthy, deep green leaves. Flowering Stage: The plant maintained its bushy structure, with buds developing steadily and gaining significant mass. By the time of harvest, the buds were thick and plentiful, displaying a beautiful orange hue typical of this strain. Harvest Details: Timing: Harvested at the peak of maturity, with the trichomes reaching the desired level of cloudiness and amber. Yield: The plant produced a substantial amount of dense, resinous buds, thanks to its bushy nature and strong branching.

Hola a todos ,ya desde la semana pasada que vengo regando solo con agua porque no falta mucho para el corte aproximadamente 10 días. Los cogollos no han engordado como lo que esperaba, en comparación a la misma "genética " del año pasado.Tambien he notado que el tamaño de los cogollos es menor, pero si son más compactos y más densos. Esta semana empezaron a tornarse la mayoria de los cogollos en un tono purpura, como así también algunas hojas, también indicadores de que el final ya se aproxima, a todo esto hay que sumarle el descenso de la temperatura también es un factor para que los cogollos y hojas se pongan de ese color. Así que de aquí a que llegue el día del corte solo regare con agua.

10.08. OG KUSH Day 107# The plant is making great progress, with the fact that the day after the last update it broke during a storm..it broke in the middle of the tree where it splits into two main stems... After this much stress, plants either die or go wild, this one got through the critical period without any problems (I immediately tied it with laces where it broke and gave it against stress), so I expect some crazy flowers and now it has to stretch like crazy... Today it started to form crowns and will in the next ones days to enter early flowering The day before yesterday was the end of her 15th week. 2 days ago she got half a dose boost and a dose of bloom, and bloom again this morning. Stay High and Keep Growing!!!
